You still need to download (and install) OpenGFX and OpenSFX.

OK, but where? There is no available package on the download page, clicking on the "opengfx" links on the homepage returns a "Rails application failed to start properly", I can't find any help on the website explaining what to download and the readme contains no reference to "open[g|s]fx".

IMHO, some explanations would be useful, at least for me :-)

I agree that OpenTTD's readme needs updates to list opengfx/opensfx and their download locations; the installation of both packages is already covered in their readmes, so that's probably something that we can refer to.

Anyhow, the "Rails application failed to start properly" is some temporary error that fixes itself, but there's no real clue what causes it (read: you should be able to access it now). I'm going to discuss with some people so you can get the packages in more places and probably try to find a way to make it more use friendly.

I manage to install the whole things and it works well, but definitely, a package openttd-data would be a lot simpler to install.

The documentation updated in r18483.

Distributing an OpenTTD .deb that 'properly' depends on OpenSFX/OpenGFX (i.e. not if you intent to use the original graphics) is going to create at least 4 packages of which you need to have 2 (openttd + openttd-for-original graphics stuff) or 3 (openttd + opengfx + opensfx). This means that in more cases people have to do difficult stuff, especially if they already got opengfx/opensfx from e.g. their Windows installation.

I agree that distributions (e.g. Debian and Fedora) should use split packages and OpenSFX/OpenGFX packages as for them installing OpenTTD and getting the right dependencies downloaded is just one simple command.
